Peter F. Drucker is one of the world’s top management thinkers. When he was thirteen. he was asked “What do you want to be remembered for?” The classroom of boys felt ill at ease, as young men do, and none could give an answer. They were told “If you still can’t answer that question by the time you are fifty, you will have wasted your life.” What if the thing or person we wanted to be at thirteen didn’t materialize. Does that make us a failure in life? This motivation is supposed to push you to be the person you can become, and he suggests that you continue to ask it as you go through life. Sometimes fate steps in and changes the whole process and you really don’t have a choice in the matter.
I’ve used many day-to-day journals to help decide what I should do, SIMPLE ABUNDANCE was by far the best, but this one is so old-fashioned compiled from his multitude of books written 25 years ago. It has an added day for Feb. 29, and this year did not have one. However, it was one of the best for the average person.
Value is what the businesses define as quality, but this is not exactly accurate when it concerns the buyer. By definition, the customer buys the satisfaction of a want; she buys value.
Today the new jobs require formal education and the ability to apply theoretical and analytical knowledge. They require a habit of continuous learning. They demand quality in learning and teaching.
In the United States in the 1960s, teenagers were the fastest-growing group demographically. Now, it is the elderly. Statistics are only the starting point. For those willing to look and listen, changing demographics is a highly productive and dependable innovative opportunity.
No doubt Mr. Drucker is an intelligent thinker; he is author of more than 35 books on management in the business world. He still teaches in the Management Department of Claremont Graduate University in California. In 2002, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Joseph Maciariello is a colleague of Mr. Drucker and put together this daily guide from a multiplicity of the Drucker library. He needs to do a commentary on Jack Welch, the former CEO who retired with millions and led a failing company to succeed in today’s world.

Since it is a daily journal I have not read much of it. Some of the passages are easily understand and some are not. It does, however, make you think. So far, so good.

The saying or insight of Drucker is really good, The concept of Drucker collection is good as well, however me personally believe the organisation and structure of the book should be better, even it might be a secondary concern.

The genius of Peter Drucker has been neatly bundled in “366 days of insight & motivation for getting the right things done.” This masterpiece is the culmination of Drucker’s greatest pearls of business wisdom, from his early work in the late ’30s all the way up to his recent efforts shortly before his death.
It’s doubtful a more powerful force in analyzing the nature of business will ever come along; at least in this generation. Aided by the brilliant Joseph Maciariello, this book is a wonderful culmination of Drucker’s philosophy on how business should operate; by alligning its core values as an organization with basic human decency—honesty and integrity above all else.
The message delivered here is compelling. Clearly, the priniples set forth by Drucker are not being followed rigorously enough by the vast majority of corporate America; hence, the current economic crisis, and the lack of credibility big business has failed to achieve in the eyes of its workers.
Greed & hubris have been major contributing factors in the worst economic meltdown since The Great Depression, but the solution to achieving a long lasting recovery may be found inside the 429 pages of this great book.
